It is important to have the right perspective when viewing something. Depending upon your perspective, you can see things differently. M.C. Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who lived in the 20th century. He drew configurations of forms in a style called tessellation that dazzled one's perspective. In one drawing, if you looked at it one way you saw geese flying; look at it another way and fish were swimming. Or another: dark-colored geese are flying one way; but look at it again and light-colored geese are flying the other way. As one scholar explains it: "What's fascinating about visual illusions is they show us we don't just perceive the world as it is; our brains actually interpret what they perceive and make assumptions about what they are seeing." So it is with Paul, who teases our perceptions in how to look at ourselves and one another in light of our experience with Jesus.
